I learned that courage was not the absence of fear, but the triumph over it. The brave man is not he who does not feel afraid, but he who conquers that fear. - Nelson Mandela
A lean and thin boy from Nainital was eagerly waiting at the entrance of an Army recruitment center. It took his complete energy to get through the toughest series of physical and written test to qualify for the Indian Army as a soldier. The seventeen year old boy was confident that he will make it to the merit as he recounted his past days practicing vigorously for this day.

As expected, Mohan Goswami, the teen from Nainital has got an appointment letter from the Indian Army to join the training. All the family members were rejoicing over the selection, not for the job but for the thought of a son who would serve for the nation.

Goswami has volunteered to serve for the country while his friends were enjoying their collegehood and day dreaming. Within few months Goswami was in the Army training center and was learning many new things which includes firing a rifle, surviving in the jungle etc.
